She has been cast opposite Sibiraj. Director Ramya, originally called Suresh, has written the story and screenplay for the Vijaykanth – Suriya starrer Periyanna, and returns to Tamil after doing a Telugu blockbuster Naga. He has made a script adapting the Ramayana for his film, Kalla Kadhalan.

Ramya said that the film is based loosely on the Agaligai chapter that comes at the beginning of the epic Ramayana. Ramya has made adequate changes in this particular episode to suit today’s needs and is making Kalla Kadhalan.

In Kalla Kadhalan, Sibiraj plays the role of Indhira, while Shah plays Ahalya. Her husband’s role is played by a Kannada stage and film actor H. Vishal. The film will be a take on women’s morality.

The film is produced by Storm Pictures. Shooting for the movie will begin in early July.
